OPINION: Just like everyone else, Idaho’s Attorney General must comply with the law
Three years ago, I joined five other former Idaho Attorneys General in describing that important position as “the …
TRIBE: Good citizens - and neighbors
As I read Mr. Carlson's comments about the Coeur d'Alene Tribe last week in The Press, I wondered how many people really know the Tribe's contributions to many of our communities and people.
By CHIEF ALLAN Special to The Press
Before I respond to Chris Carlson's recent column attacking the Coeur d'Alene Tribe and Indian gaming, I want to start by disclosing a few things.
GAY: You go your way
Waaa Waaa Waaaa. Would all you progressive, gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexuals like a little cheese with your whine...
MARRIAGE: Humans have right to choose
Mr. Sheridan: First you mention that "there is nothing more wrong than same sex marriage." Then you mention, "...balancing the budget." "Then you mention, "...open any meeting with a prayer..." What does one have t…
PRICE FIXING: Blame it on Sen. Durbin

LIMITS: Change is good - really
Awhile back was an article on term limits for Congress. I agree and have been saying that for years, but no one seems to listen.
WORKERS: Judge's ruling got it right
Score two for the people who keep the wheels rolling. The U.S. District Court recently ruled that two anti-worker laws passed in the last Idaho legislature violated existing law. SB 1006 and SB 1007 both sponsored …
MARRIAGE: Man and woman only
Has the world turned upside down? There is nothing more wrong than same sex marriages. A marriage is between one man and one woman to bring forth children to keep populating the world. There is no place for comprom…
FOSTER: Improve system, pay more
I have been following the story in your paper regarding the Clarks' (foster parents) situation. While there are many dedicated people who do this, it is a very time-consuming, difficult job, to be sure.
AMERICANS: Take care of own business
I am having trouble writing this letter because of the wool that has been pulled over my eyes for the past 54 years.
STOLEN: Unique reindeer, come home
I just wanted to personally thank the thieves who stole our Christmas reindeer out of our front yard the last day of December. We are an older couple on a limited income, and we both have medical issues, but in spi…
